Simone Simons singing The Gathering's 'Strange Machine' at the Christmas Metal Symphony 2009 in 013 Tilburg.

She is some singer! I thought she is only into classical singing, but she doesn't stop surprising me! She has a great machine in her throat!!! She's the best!!!

[@carlajoon]

I Love Simone! "Merry fucking christmas!!" 💖

[@iambarbara]

Oooh! I like this.

[@Senzafine14]

OMG amazing, the original has a special place in my heart and so does Simone so this is heaven for me.......... so freakin awesome!!!!

[@Vitaire]

Though the original is, of course, the greatest song evarr, this one's pretty amazing too :D

[@LyraAhdri]

Awesome!

[@russull5589]

[@100CrashConcrete]

Strange machine RULES!!!!! Gathering rules !!!!!! Epica rules!!!!!!!!!

[@MrMauro1215]

Eu amo a Simone demais meu Deus Amo essa mulher

[@KejsiRocks]

Anneke van Giersbergen is a tough act to follow and I actually think Simone does a great job.

[@dursunnar98]

She did a great job on this song, of course it's different from Anekke's version but Simone adds her own magic :D

[@Bocapreto]

AWESOME lol, nice choice Simone!

[@RusselF013]

True! Especially on the first 3 records. Her voice is totally powerful in both classical and chest voice!

[@joshy_bish]

merry fucking christmaaaaassss

[@evasl]

Shit... KZbin is full of bullies! I'm just happy she's happy!

[@axemaxi]

all the sudden i love gingers

[@rogeriotalarico]

It´s Amazing! you are not filmed her singing Heaven´s a Lie with Scabbia?

[@Lindagresiva]

jajaja "Merry Fucking Cristmas" jajaja xD

[@RusselF013]

I think all songs from the 2 albums with Anneke could be hard for Simone. Simone has a deeper voice and Anneke has this energy with her voice that only few can do. But In Motion #2 or Saturnine could be better, I think.

[@EilennaElonen]

Did you record Heaven's a Lie or Cry For The Moon??

[@nemosangel]

@HUNimaginary Thank God, somebody with ears xD her voice is shaking at first... i don't know how to explain this in english.. but its like the voice in not in the "right place" to sing :P

[@bubu8909]

Só queria o cabelo

[@EranumVids]

@EilennaElonen No sorry, only this one from Simone.

[@EranumVids]

@axemaxi *smiles*

[@JustBored589]

@axemaxi that's awesome! haha. i know Simone makes redheads hot for sure even if its not her natural color

[@sjm20043]

If I were Anneke, I'd feel very upset that someone ruined one of the best songs I used to sing

[@evasl]

They are friends since 2006. Clown.

[@ayse2399]

Simone's voice is definitely beautiful than Annette. Haters gonna hate.

[@liricobarroco]

@Amederia ah?? Simone canta millones de años luz mejor que Anneke!!!

[@Himynameistorres]

I really like Simone but Anneke voice is too much for Simone.

[@TheVgbj]

péssimo...simone estragou a música

[@evasl]

Há sempre um caralho de um enjoado. Foda-se!

[@Gugon17]

She looks very stiff and uncomfortable here, not to mention how out of tune she sounded...ok the lowest parts were quite good;P

[@RusselF013]

I actually think Anette Olzon or at least Floor Jansen can dodge this song well.

[@shardikat]

I love Simone and I have a love-hate relationship with Anneke's voice, but this particular song requires a brazen vocal elasticity and sheer energy to bring it to life. That just isn't Simone's style even if she can sing the notes. There are other Gathering songs that might have been a better fit for Simone, especially those in the later catalog, but not this one.

[@evasl]

The thing is: she loves this one and she's free to sing it. Chupa

[@cvetageorgieva4312]

Just no. Sorry Simone (and all you Simone fans) but this is more than horrible. If she sang something from Epica repertoire it would be better.

[@HUNimaginary]

People, I love her but this is horrible. xD At least the first verses. Motion#1 could have been a better choice-

[@maytrinity]

This great song belongs only to Anneke ...sorry Sisi

[@evasl]

Outra burra que não sabe que está ali só um ser humano no palco a cantar uma música que ama! Agora entendo porque a Simone mandou o youtube para o caralho.

[@amosthree]

I don't think she can pull it off. The Vocals are too different.

[@BEAUTIFULA31]

She just can't reach the notes.

[@evasl]

You just don't grasp that their voices are totally opposites and she's doing this very happily for she's singing a song she loves. People really are 🤮... I don't know if you know Simone, but at that stage is a girl that by then had already proved she was an amazing artist. She's enjoying the music she's inspired by. That's it. A person enjoying the opportunity. Just like any other of us would do. Humble up.
